An exciting fun day at Derby Caravan Park – woke to the distant sound of birds or was it the sound of our fellow campers waking.  We are at a powered site so mod con it was – made breakfast in microwave, toaster & electric jug.  Another treat, I stripped off the bed linen, the towels, etc. & washed in a real electric powered washing machine.  Now that Sue & John’s caravan faces the other side & we have all got our heads in the computers to catch up with E Mail (& write up yesterday’s blog) we hardly had time to see each other.  Sue & John went to Woolworths & site seeing.  Ron decided that it was a great day to wipe out the inside of the Karavan & all the rubber dust seals outside, plus clean a large number of small stones out of the hitch, the hydraulic brake, the cover plate under the gas bottles, as well as lots of small stones in nooks & crannies under the Karavan.

It was a really hot day so we powered up the air conditioner & it worked very well.  For lunch I cooked spaghetti Bolognaise in the community kitchen.  The 4 of us missed each other’s company so we decided to watch the sun set (which happens very quickly here) from the little restaurant on the jetty.   We had a lovely sea food dinner & an excellent gold medal shiraz BYO wine.   Since it was 7 o’clock when we finished eating we headed home for bed (may be blog writing first).   I took a photo of the closeness of our neighbours, its what I call a close community.
